What a marvellous coincidence! And it brings home the increased chances of hooking odd connections together through the internet. My Berkeley was sold via an intermediary to a Japanese chap, and it went to Japan a couple of years ago - I know it's not the one you refer to though, as mine was a four-wheeler. But I wouldn't mind betting that that your man over there knows of that red, 4-wheeler Berkeley, chassis number 340, in Japan....and Big H is right in his view - how anyone could ever describe one, even a 4-wheeler as "a bit like a Lotus Elan Sprint" is beyond me - he must have been over indulging in the medication. No, it's much more like an AC Cobra - really!

It's true, well done Wishy, or should maybe we should call you Frodo? I've always wondered about that moustache and those furry feet of your. List ye! The Legend of the Giant Commer of Gondor. In the name of my holely precious ring, it exists! Gondor was a Dúnedain kingdom founded by Isildur and Anárion, the sons of Elendil, after the Downfall of Númenor. Gondor was located to the west of Mordor, on the Bay of Belfalas, just off the M1 near Dunstable, Beds. Its name means "Land of Rust", from Sindarin gond (rust) + (n)dor (land), most likely given to it because of the Ered Nimrais the Welder and the many Rootes Group Motors dealerships located there. Gondor's early history was characterised by huge building projects, of cities, ships, armies and light commercial vehicles designed mainly for town work on account of their unsuitable engine and narrow front suspension subframe. After Hyarmendacil's reign, decadence spread under the kings of Gondor, started by Hyarmendacil's own son, Atanatar, and a long, slow period of decline began (although Gondor experienced several revivals). Three great calamities struck Gondor during the second millennium of the Third Age, which are held to be the chief reasons for its decline: the Kin-strife, the Great Plague, and the decision to turn the Commer PB into the Dodge Spacevan with the cheap and nasty black plastic grille and square rear lights and that. And so the Giant Commer of Gondor passed into Tolkeinian folklaw. Until now. Behold, the Fourth Age is upon us! Or alternatively just resize the pic using a freeshare j.peg program like Infranview...   (Wishy and Sam Gamgee yesterday on their to the Hotpoint dealers for some more pump spares) |

Yea verily, Gandalf has spoken. And thus it was prophesied, many moons past by Tolkein:
"This is the Master-Commer, the One Commer to rule them all.
This is the One Commer lost many years ago,
to the great weakening of its maker's power".

I've replaced the bloody lot and still no good. Check the jet in the old Solex carb? Worn valve seats? Oh well, get the head off again...

Remember that she is a grand old lady, who will put out just as much power as she decides to put out. And not a horsie power more. Particularly on shite modern petrol. But do try and narrow it down to ignition, fuel or air leak first. My dear chap, do please carry out a compression test, with and without oil, before you go and get all bothered and flustered pulling lots of important engine components apart in inclement weather. Anyway, Lucas were jolly good....it says so here....

The trouble is that they're still making the same stuff, but it usually sparks. If it does, then its crap in the carb, or emulsion in your emulsion tube |

Mr Zarse.
Am i still being forced to take my elderly VW to LM next year?
Drove her up the lane the other day and all was sweet. All she needed was a squirt of petrol in the carb and a decent battery and she fired up like a redhead on heat!
Obviously the coil lead was left off to let the oil pressure get up but when started there was no smoke and she ticked over fine.
If she is required she will be sorted........ otherwise a hearse is needed....
